As a joke, his dachshund Knirps had been trained to raise his paw in salute on the command 'Heil Hitler'. On the other hand, his wife was a great admirer of Hitler, and more importantly, Manstein, as already mentioned, had even issued that order to his troops mentioning 'the necessity of hard measures against Jewry'
